Targets For Renewable Energy (RE) Seychelles Energy Commission • 5% of RE by 2020 in the Final Energy • 15% of RE by 2030 in the Final Energy • 100% of RE in the long-term in the Final Energy
Incentives for Promoting RE Seychelles Energy Commission Power Purchase Agreement Feed-in tariffs for different RE sources Fiscal incentives on imports of RE equipment (Exemption of GST: GST Amendment No.3, Regulations, 2010: 163F. )
INSTRUMENTS IN PREPARATION Seychelles Energy Commission Model Power Purchase Agreement to be studied/prepared Feed-In Tariffs for Solar PV and others to be studied/ prepared Grid absorption capacity to be studied The Energy Commission in preparation phase
Greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector in 2000 (in metric tonne) • Increased from 185,000 to 233,000 tonnes from 1995 to 2000 • An increase of 26% • 1 key sector for abating GHG in Seychelles is: Electricity Generation Seychelles Energy Commission
